== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ARHG4_HUMAN ARHG4_HUMAN] Acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RHOA, RAC1 and CDC42 GTPases. Binding of APC may activate RAC1 GEF activity. The APC-ARHGEF4 complex seems to be involved in cell migration as well as in E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion. Required for MMP9 up-regulation via the JNK signaling pathway in colorectal tumor cells. Involved in tumor angiogenesis and may play a role in intestinal adenoma formation and tumor progression.<ref>PMID:10947987</ref> <ref>PMID:12598901</ref> <ref>PMID:17145773</ref> <ref>PMID:17599059</ref> <ref>PMID:19893577</ref>
